So, I recently aquired of one of Disney's classics, Beauty and the Beast (digitally remastered, of course! as well as with the song "we'll be human again." that song wasn't in the original version, but it's not like the people today just made it up and put it in. it's still from a long time ago. anyway...). I'm sure you've all seen it (the movie) at one point in your life, and if you haven't, well, you should. Not just Beauty and the Beast, but ALL the Disney classic cartoons, such as Aladdin, the Lion King, Peter Pan, the Little Mermaid, etc, etc, etc. Anywho! I thought I'd share with you a song that I find rather amusing. And, in case I've confused you, yes, this song is from Beauty and the Beast. ;) Idk the title of it, so I'll just call it the "Gaston Song." Gaston is the bad guy, btw.

Gaston Song:
(talking)
-Gaston; "Who does she think she is? That girl has tangled with the wrong man! No one says 'no' to Gaston!"
-LeFou(his minion); "Darn right."
-G; "Dismissed! Rejected! Publicly humiliated! Why, it's more than I can bear!"
-L; "More beer?"
-G; "What for? Nothing helps. I'm disgraced."
-L; "Who, you? Never! Gaston, you've got to pull yourself together!"
(singing)
-L; "Gosh, it disturbs me to see you, Gaston, looking so down in the dumps!
Every guy here'd love to be you, Gaston, even when taking your lumps.
There's no man in town as admired as you,
You're everyone's favorite guy!
Everyone's awed and inspired by you!
And it's not very hard to see why....
No one's slick as Gaston!
No one's quick as Gaston!
No one's neck's as incredible thick as Gaston's!
For there's no one in town half as manly,
Perfect, a pure paragon!
You can ask any Tom, Dick, or Stanley,
And they'd tell you whose team they'd prefer to be on!"
-All; "No one's been like Gaston,
A king pin like Gaston!"
-L; "No one's got a swell cleft in his chin like Gaston!"
-G; "As a specimen, yes, I'm intimidating!"
-A; "My, what a guy, that Gaston!
Give 5 hurrahs! Give 12 hip hip's!"
-L; "Gaston is the best and the rest is all drips!"
-A; "No one fights like Gaston!
Douses lights like Gaston!"
-Random dude; "In a wrestling match nobody bites like Gaston!"
-Girls; "For there's no one as burly and brawny!"
-G; "As you see, I've got biceps to spare!"
-L; "Not a bit of him's scraggly or scrawny!"
-G; "That's right! And every last inch of me's covered with hair!"
-A; "No one hits like Gaston!
Matches wits like Gaston!"
-L; "In a spitting match nobody spits like Gaston!"
-G; "I'm especially good at expectorating!"
-A; "Ten points for Gaston!"
-G; "When I was a lad, I ate 4 dozen eggs every morning to help me get large!
And now that I'm grown, I eat 5 dozen eggs, so I'm roughly the size of a barge!"
-A; "No one shoots like Gaston!
Makes those beauts like Gaston!"
-L; "Then goes tromping around wearing boots like Gaston!"
-G; "I use antlers in all of my decorating!"
-A; "My what a guy! Gaston!"

(Belle's dad comes in, shouting about how the Beast has Belle locked in a dungeon, they throw him out)

-G; "LeFou, I'm afraid I've been thinking."
-L; "A dangerous pastime!"
-G; "I know.
But that wacky old coot is Belle's father, and his sanity's only so-so.
Now the wheels in my head have been turning
Since I looked at that looney old man.
See, I promised myself I'd be married to Belle,
And right now I'm evolving a plan!"
(Indistinct whispering)
-L; 'Now I get it!"
-L&G; "Let's go!"
(singing)
-L&G; "No one plots like Gaston!"
-G; "Takes cheap shots like Gaston!"
-L; "Plans to persecute harmless crackpots like Gaston!"
-A; "For his marriage we soon will be celebrating!
My what a guy! Gaston!"

Haha! :D That's all I'm going to say, because this post is already wayyyy to long. Pickles!

So, I just found this new band that I enjoy! It's called, you guessed it, the Squirrel Nut Zippers. It's like a big band-jazz kind of feeling. I heard it for the first time on the way home from the retreat from Jaye's ipod. It's catchy! Apparently, they were formed in the 90's and took a look hiatus, than played again together in 2008. Anywho, they're certainly a new listening experience! Comment with your opinions on the song:) I've only listened to a few of there songs, and this one is my favourite:

Today I am here to tell you all about yet another new blog! Buuuut this time, its MY new blog! I still have "The Fate Of Destiny" though not many people look at it, I still have it.

It's called "This Girl's Viewpoint". I KNOOOOOW that the name is CHEESY, but that's what happens when you get me to make up the name myself. See, The Fate Of Destiny, was made by Dakota, so that's why its ACTUALLY a good title. If you have ideas for a better title for my new blog, put them down below! (:

Here's a little preview: This is my new personal blog (obviously), and on this blog I will be reviewing different things! Some of the things are: books, movies, songs and makeup!

Good evening blog viewers. Grab a cup of hot tea, or hot chocolate and enjoy this blog post.

As you know, one of our contributers is Miss. Sunny Smith. She has just created a new blog called "A Splash of Ink". I read her first post and it was very good. There was no randomness...but that is what THIS blog is for! If you are a writer, you would enjoy this blog because it has GREAT tips and such. Even if you AREN'T a writer, you should still CHECK IT cuz...well it's just that cool! Heres a little preview:

If you've ever read any "How to Write a Novel" webpages or books than you've most likely heard that writers do best when they write about what they know. I'd have to say that I do agree with that, but I didn't for the longest time. Here's why:

Monday, February 7, 2011

So, I wanted to blog but didn't know what to say...well at FIRST I didn't and now I have a vague idea so I want to see what will happen when I put my vague idea into a blog! (:

There are times when I feel stressed and worried...which happens to me waaaay too often. I know, for those of you who know me, you think that I'm always hyper and happy but...noooo!! My vague idea was to think of things that calm me down and maybe I'll feel better!

1: listening to slow songs: they are really comforting to me! Especially if I have listened to them before and they have a good message or meaning to me.

2: ranting to myself: may sound odd, but it works sometimes.

3: crying: if i'm really upset, it REALLY helps.

4: reading: sometimes it helps me to get lost in another world.

5: going to sleep: when I wake up the next morning, I feel a lot better.

6: ranting to my friends: when they listen to what I have to say, it feels good!

I can't think of anything else...and this post is probably pointless..but w.e. It felt good to rant to you guys!! ooh!!

A play by Sunny Smith documenting with somecreative license the events of the first day(s) of semester two at Kooky Heights.

Scene the Second

Cast of Characters:

Me: The beautiful, smart, ever pleasant (HA!), and especially humble main character. Other wise known as Sunny. Attends Kooky Heights, the local high school. Doesn't have any speaking parts in this scene, only comments that are uttered in the mind, as it takes place in a classroom.

Mr. F: My Greek English teacher. Love's Bob Marley's music and other reggae music in general. Looks like he just walked off the set of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"

In which an English Class is taught

Mr F: If you haven't figured it out yet, my name is Mr. F and I teach grade ten academic English. I also love Bob Marley music.

Points to two life size posters of the dread-locked Marley himself. Goes on and rambles about the units that we're to cover in the course for about ten minutes.

Me: Yes, Mr F, I kind of figured that you were a fan, but I also had the sneaking suspicion that some crazy Marley impersonator broke into the school and plastered his picture everywhere! Thanks for clearing that up, Mr. F

Mr F: I've got your schedules' and a seating plan. So when I call your name come and get em!

Annoyed groan and sounds of students getting to their feet, collecting their things. After students are seated, not very happy, I might add Mr. F hands out a worksheet.

Mr F: I have this little worksheet for you to fill out and if you hand it in I'll give you two bonus marks on your first test!

Satisfied sounds from class, for that has made up slightly for the seating arrangement, and rustling of bags as people get out pens and paper.

Me: (reading the top of the page) An autobiography (skims through pages that are stapled together seeing question after question and a few full length paragraph answers) No kidding. I could write a book with all these questions!

A few short moments later...

MrF starts talking about poetry and what it is. Get's on the topic of using words to paint a picture

Mr F: A few months ago myself and some friends of mine were eating at a table in my Dad's restaurant. Now, my dad immigrated from Greece about 45 years ago and still can't speak English fluently, so he makes up these phrases that are often crass and don't sound quite right in English. Anyways, one of my friends was talking about why another guy we invited couldn't come, apparently his wife said no. My dad opens his mouth, and I'm just waiting to see what he's going to say. He goes (slips into an imitating accent of his father) he has danger wife! Danger wife bad! (uses normal voice) So my friends ask him what a "Danger Wife" is and he says (uses accent again) Danger wife control man! Man want to go out, danger wife say no! Man hungry danger wife tells him what to eat! Danger Wife tells man to do dishes! (using normal voice now) By than, all my friends were laughing and having a great time!

Relates his story back to word pictures and lets us work for awhile

Mr F: I also don't like technology! I don't own a cell phone! So in my class no phones, no ipods, ect.!

About half the class shove their phones that they are currently texting on, in their pockets, and the other half looks protectively towards the bulge in their bag, pocket, ect.

The rest of the period is spent working on Autobiographies and Mr F running his hand through his shoulder length brown hair. I have to say the hair completes the "Greek look".

*DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING*

Mr F: Alright see you all tomorrow!

Class files out leaving Mr F and his Bob Marley posters to themselves

End Scene

This has been play writing with Sunny Smith, stay tunned for the next and final part of semester two happenings. It may or may not come, depending on my memory and time to write:P But for now, I say adieu!

We were driving one fine Thursday night (and by fine, I mean FRIGID!), and we passed by a place advertising laser hair removal and halotherapy. "HaloTherapy? What in the world is that?" You may be wondering. Don't feel bad, I didn't know what it was either. The first thing that came to my mind was that it involved the game Halo.

I suppose shooting things can be theraputic, but I don't think that's really quite what they meant. I looked it up on the ever-trusty Google (which can find anything, except for Chuck Norris), and came up with this description; Salt therapy, halotherapy, or speleotherapy is the theraputic use of salt mines, caves, or other forms of exposure to salt air. So, sounds like a vacation to the seaside it good for you! :D Now you have leverage to convince your parents to take you to that exotic resort you've always dreamed of staying at. Wait, I sound like a commercial! STOP THE PRESSES!!!!! Haven't you always wanted to burst into the room yelling that at the top of your lungs? No? Hmm......odd. What about yelling SECURITY!!! for no apparent reason? No, no, that might not be a good idea. What about......yelling a random name in a crowd and seeing how many people look around? Haha, yeah, I thought so. :) Now, have you ever done it? Me neither. It sounds so....conspicuous! And not at all spy-like. Oops! I shouldn't have said that..... :O Ah....umm....COOKIES! Not robot ones, like in Dispicable Me, which would be spy-like. Ones with chocolate chunks!!!! Yumm.......Speaking of chocolate! I--nevermind. It's gone. Oh, I just remembered. About the laser hair removal? I think they mean they remove hair with lasers, not they remove laser hair. Jus' sayin'. ;)

A Play by Sunny Smith documenting, with some creative license the events of the first day of semester two at Kooky Heights.

Scene The First

Cast Of Characters:
ME!: The beautiful, smart, ever pleasant (HA!), and especially humble main character. Other wise known as Sunny. Attends Kooky Heights, the local high school.
Jane: The *ahm* loving sister of Sunny, who attends Kooky Heights, as previously mentioned.

Mother: The mother of Sunny and Jane. Works at the church, but that's irrelevant.

The Van: 2000 Dodge Caravan. The distinguished vehicle of the characters mentioned.

The two students proceed the get dressed for the frigid weather and as usual I'm last out the door. The three ladies pile in the ever *cough* faithful van.

Me: (yelling) Turn on the heat! TURN ON THE HEAT! Notes first -of many- loud expressions of the day to self.

Mother: Calm down. (turns on van and heat. Time blinks in at 8:05am)

Van: *Vroom Vroom*

Mother: Wow! It's only five after! You girls are going to be on time!

Jane: (sarcastically) For once, Sun-ny.

Me: sticks tongue out at Jane

Van takes off down the road.

Van: *Skreeeeeeech* stops and slides in the snow

Mother: *Tired sigh* (Pretty sure she's cursing Canadian winters too)

Uneventful ride over to Kooky Heights, except for the excess of snow and comments about wishing spring would come.

Van: *Turns into Kooky Heights driveway*

Mother: See ya guys later. Love you!

Me: Ya, bye, love you too (slams door without looking back and runs the ten meters to get to the door to be rid of the icy winds while trying not to slip on the ice) Mutters to self about the lack of safety on the snow covered stairs INSIDE the school. Officially arrives at Kooky Heights, safely, and in reasonably good spirits for being up before noon hour.

End Scene

This has been my life as a play with Sunny Smith, say tuned for parts 2 and 3:) And feel free to share your own unique experiences with first days of new semesters in the comment section!
